Abstract
A 20-year-old college tennis player suffered a severe open fracture dislocation of her left ankle and a cervical spine fracture in an auto accident. This type of ankle injury often results in severe contamination and a poorly functioning joint. The patient underwent ankle surgery as well as treatment for her cervical spine fracture. By following a diligent rehabilitation program, she was subsequently able to return to her college tennis team and perform at a high level. The case demonstrates the effectiveness of meticulous treatment and a good rehabilitation program. Verf.-Referat
